Git server and PATH issues [Accepted]

[Maniform]

Hello team,

I tried to setup a git server on my F4-424. To get the git features, I installed ModBase1 (https://tmnascommunity.eu/download/modbase1/) from the community. Git setup is correct and the PATH is setted.

What I did :

• Create a shared folder called "git" in Volume1
• In git, create a project folder "test.git"
• In this folder, I ran the command

  Code: Select all

  git init --bare

• On my PC, I tried to clone with

  Code: Select all

  git clone ssh://[email protected]:9222/Volume1/git/test.git

  it ask me for my password then returns error

  Code: Select all

  bash: line 1: git-upload-pack: command not found
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  

From what I found, it seems to be an issue with the PATH. When I log in with SSH, git-upload-pack is available without any further configuration (PATH is right) but through a git command, the PATH is not setted the same way so some git features are not available.

Some workarounds require to edit ssh config from the NAS, but TOS seems to ignore .ssh folder or any .profile/.bashrc configurations.

The only working way I found for now is to use a Raspberry Pi as a git server. I mounted /Volume1/git to my Pi then I use

Code: Select all

git clone ss://user@raspberrypi/mnt/git/test.git

and it works perfectly.

Any solution to make a git server on TOS 6 ?

It may be a permission issue. Could you please confirm if you are using the superuser on the TNAS system? Only the superuser has the permission to access via SSH.

I use my account that is administrator.
I see there's a "super" folder in homes so maybe there's a "super" user hidden somewhere. I tried it but I don't have the password and I can't find it anywhere in the documentation.

Just to clarify, I tried my admin password on super account but it's not working.

Perhaps you can learn about relevant information here.

Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find any way to make it work through ssh without customizing the system.

I'm investigation a way using docker to make it work natively.

FIXED !!! I found a way with no big modifications and it's working !

I was able to see the content of PATH through ssh commands with

Code: Select all

ssh -t <user>@<tnas> -p <port> 'echo $PATH'

Logging with ssh and showing PATH doesn't give same result.

The PATH contains

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin

but by default, there's no such dir. I created it and created symbolic links to every git command.

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/ModBase1/sys/bin/git /usr/local/bin/git
...
[Repeat for every git binary]
...

Now git server works !

Just so you know, I first created a symbolic link of full ModBase1's bin folder. It works too but it shows following issues everytime you log in with ssh after that. I guess it causes conflicts with other existing binaries.

Code: Select all
